No, that's my bike, but a fairly original '69 Raleigh Pro. For the period, the sloping crown was one of the nicest available, and continued with the Raleigh Pros for years!

From talking to framebuilders in the past, their concern would be getting a good bond to the oil impregnated metal. I think it'd be worth a go myself. There were some nice Japanese sloping fork crown forks available in the past, but they seem hard to find these days.
